The problem is, we can't do this with encypted passwords. You could you plaintext, and that would not require any special setup, but entails a number of nasty client-side issues, starting with the need to hack the registry on every client. You need to create a new smbpasswd file. The --with-nisplus stuff refers to a method by which you can store an smbpasswd like file *in* NISPLUS. I do not recall any --with-nis option.
